JOINT EFFECTS TARGETING SYSTEMS (JETS)
Abstract
The Joint Effects Targeting System (JETS) is an Army program with joint interest (Air Force and Marine). The goal is to develop a lightweight mission equipment set for the dismounted forward observers and controllers (including Joint Tactical Air Controllers - JTAC). The JETS will provide observers and controllers the means to call for fire and control delivery of air, ground and naval surface fire support, using precision, near-precision, and non-precision munitions and effects (both lethal and non-lethal). The JETS will consist of two subsystems: the Target Location Designation System (TLDS) and the Target Effects Coordination Capability (TECC). The TLDS will provide the observers and controllers the ability to conduct surveillance; acquire and accurately locate targets; designate targets for attack by laser seeking munitions; mark targets for aviation and ground based targeting systems; and transmit targeting data to existing forward entry devices. The TECC will leverage existing forward entry devices to provide access to current and future joint targeting networks, formats, and generate digital calls for fire and Close Air Support (CAS) requests to all joint fires platforms; will display information to the observers and controllers to enable effective target engagement and integration of fires with Joint maneuver forces; and will support fire support planning functions. JETS TLDS recently achieved MS-A (4Q FY10). As part of the MS A, an Army Cost Position (ACP) was developed. Starting in FY12, the ACP aligns JETS TLDS funding under this project in lieu of 0604710A L76 (Dismounted Fire Support Targeting System). A 6.4 RDTE line (Soldier Precision Targeting Devices - Advanced Development 6.4, PE: 603774A Project: VT8) will also be associated with this effort in the future.
